Construction News Image
The Mayfield Partnership has submitted revised plans for its office scheme in Manchester.

The new plans include changes to make the redevelopment more sustainable. It also includes proposals for what would be Manchester's largest single site cycle parking area.

The Mayfield Partnership, is a collaboration between Landsec U+I, Manchester City Council, Transport for Greater Manchester and LCR.

Phase one of the Mayfield development includes the construction of 320,000 sq ft of new office space through two new buildings. The reworked plans outline targets of 600kg CO2 per m2 for the project.

500m2 of PV panels are included in the designs as well as an increase in the provision of EV charging to 50%.

The first phase of the Mayfield development is valued at £400 million with the entire regeneration project being priced at £1.5 billion.

Commenting on the scheme, Deborah Freeman-Watt, Head of Regional Mixed-Use Development, Landsec said: "This is an exciting milestone for us, one that accelerates the green development of one of the UK's leading business communities. Our updated proposals for phase one of a future-proofed Mayfield reflects the needs of the city today and tomorrow, as it progresses towards its net zero future. Mayfield will have the flexibility and customisation to support the increasing shift toward greener habits for business and community.

"Mayfield Park has already contributed a beautiful new public amenity in the heart of Manchester. It is only right that the buildings among it are just as focused on wellbeing and sustainability as the communities within.

"With all three of the buildings in this first phase targeting a 5.5-star NABERS ratings they will be fit to serve communities efficiently and sustainably, delivering for the sustainability goals of the city."
